I chose cushions and wobble chairs for my students to have flexible seating. This allows students to sit in a seat that supports their learning style. Not all students do best in a regular school chair. These are also great for students that have trouble sitting still in their seats. This type of seating help students concentrate on the lesson and not distract their neighbors. These can also be used as a reward. I picked storage bins to organize their reading levels. This will allow my students to easily choose a book in their reading level. Right now the library does not have any organization to it. Students are not able to pick a book in their current reading level easily at this time. Lastly, I chose mailboxes so that the students are not losing lesson time to have papers handed out to them. They can quietly walk to their mailbox at the end of the day!
